@@sarahtelles1931 The film's producer, Mervyn LeRoy (how about YOU learn some facts, like people's names?) had battled studio heads to get Judy the lead in _Wizard._ They didn't think that she had had enough experience, as she'd only been with MGM for three years and hadn't starred in anything, certainly not such a big movie as _Wizard_ was intended to be. But LeRoy admired Judy, recognized that she was a triple threat, and knew she could knock it out of the park. Judy's only "drug usage" was the taking of an appetite suppressant once a day, a preparation which is still on the market today. LeRoy never said anything about Judy's breasts except inasmuch as they had to be hidden or reduced in order to help the illusion of Dorothy being a prepubescent. Judy's height (4'11") and her ability to act below her age also contributed. Instead of watching erroneous videos, read some books by people who know what they're talking about. I always recommend "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz with an introduction by Margaret Hamilton, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman with an introduction by Jack Haley, Jr., and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.

@@sarahtelles1931 Mervyn LeRoy was Judy's biggest fan when she was still basically an unknown. He would not have allowed anyone to abuse her. Her "drug usage" when making _Wizard_ amounted to one appetite suppressant-- prescribed by a doctor-- which is still sold today. She didn't need to be thin, they just needed to hide that fact that she was a zaftig teenager; part of that was brought about by diet and exercise (hiking, swimming, tennis, badminton, etc.), and part of it by costuming. LeRoy certainly never said anything to her about her breasts; as a married man and a father, that was off his radar. Sure, other people have churned out the same stories, just like other people have told about Elvis still being alive, the Earth being hollow, and the world being run by a secret society of intelligent reptiles. That doesn't make those stories true. Repetition of lies about Judy Garland doesn't make them true either.

as a history nerd myself i kinda have to correct morbid on a few things, The reason they used that stuff for the snow ( idk how too spell it lol ) is because at the time it was very cheap and very easy to get your hands on, also the reason the studio made judy do all that too lose weight was because they wanted her to have a more child like body type and because she was a full grown women at the time they had too take extreme measures, obviously what they did too judy was fucked up but i just want to give the proper history behind it ( also the pills they had her on were pills meant to make someone lose their apatite but because she had to take them so often she got addicted ). And one last thing lol, it was a very common thing for female actors to be touched on set so i do think judy was telling the truth when she said the munchkins were doing weird stuff. other then all that this was a very good vid from morbid and i can't wait for more content.

Hi! Oz fan, here! Majority of the stuff that you’re talking about isn’t… all correct. Like how they put Judy on pills to be on a diet The directors, nor anyone else on set made Judy take any pills (neither 80 cigarettes) It was actually Judy’s mother who did that. Also, they actually used Gypsum for the snow, not asbestos (the bad stuff that gives cancer) Gypsum is harmless btw. “Judy being SA’d/ touched by munchkins”, most likely not true. Since she chose to each lunch with the munchkin cast each day on set. Also, my source is Tori Calamito, who is an Oz historian. And, thank you for allowing me to inform you!

This is about the umpteen gazillionth video I've seen on the making of this movie, and not to hurt your feelings, but there's really nothing new here, so I'm forced to wonder why you bothered. Nobody on this movie was underpaid. The Singer Midgets each received $50.00 a week during the time they were getting costume fittings, make-up tests, and doing rehearsals. When the cameras started rolling on the Munchkinland sequence in December of 1938, their pay was doubled, which made it more than most of them were getting in their everyday jobs. Many of them stayed in show business as a result. Mickey Carroll, thanks to his benefactor Zeppo Marx of the Marx Brothers, actually made $500.00 a week, which makes it all the more ironic that when _Wizard_ was completed, he went back to his family's monuments business. All told, they were on the project for a month and a half. Carl Spitz, the trainer of Terry the terrier, worked the entire five-month filming period, and it was he, not the dog, who was paid a weekly sum of $125.00. Terry's paw was likely only sprained, because she was back within two weeks. There was no "toxic paint." What got into Buddy Ebsen's lungs was an aluminum powder which was dusted over his quite ordinary white greasepaint. It was also not a case of "the studio" not caring about his health; they just didn't realize at first how severe his reaction (brought on by a congenital bronchial condition) had been. Jack Haley's make-up did, in fact, contain aluminum; it was an aluminum paste. His "severe" eye infection cleared up in four days; you can get an eye infection from any number of things accidentally getting in your eyes. Haley had no further incidents. Bert Lahr's Lion suit weighed seventy pounds, which was quite enough for him, thanks! 🙂The cast and crew took frequent breaks; Victor Fleming ordered that the lights be shut off every half hour or so in order for everyone to relax and cool off-- and yes, so folks, including Lahr, could get a sip of water. It's still not recommended even now that someone in elaborate prosthetics should eat while wearing them. The ironic thing about Lahr is that he actually gained weight while working on the movie. Miss Hamilton didn't make her exit via a trap door, but via an elevator. The idea was that she'd be under the set before the flames went up. The elevator worked perfectly, but on about the fourth take, the flames went up too soon. Miss Hamilton wasn't even aware that she was on fire, and couldn't figure out whey stage hands were suddenly all over her to put her out. Her make-up was also not "toxic," but there was a danger of toxicity if the copper in it caught fire, but her make-up man was able to clean it off before that could happen, and the studio doctor saw to her wounds there and then. She herself called her friend to take her home. The studio called to check up on her, but in fact, she had finished her work on the Munchkinland sequence (barring one short shot that she did a few months later), and wasn't required back on the set until February. She only needed a glove for her right hand. Betty Danko was scarred more than burned, and it was not the worst injury she'd sustained in her career; that was a few years earlier when her foot had nearly been bitten off by a mountain lion. A SWEET STORY: While Miss Danko was laid up in hospital, the cast sent her a copy of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in which they'd all written messages. Miss Hamilton's read, "Between fire and explosions it's been fun! Thank you, Betty dear, for 'taking one' for me. Much love, Mag the Hag." 🙂 As clarified by Oz authorities Jay Scarfone and William Stillman in their 2019 book "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece," the snow was not asbestos, but crushed gypsum, which had been used for snow in movies since the Silent Era. The biggest lies told about this movie-- and repeated by people who haven't read the right books-- are the ones concerning Judy Garland. The fact is that of all the main cast, she had the easiest time. Victor Fleming and Judy got along like a house on fire. The only names he called her were "Judalein" and "Ange." Judy herself said of him: "He’s perfectly marvelous. He has the nicest low voice and the kindest eyes. Besides, he realizes that a girl who is sixteen is practically grown-up. He shows me all the courtesies he would to Hedy Lamarr. That’s very important to me." The only person whom Judy ever claimed called her a "pig with pigtails" was MGM boss Louis B. Mayer, and that only later in life when she liked to tell tall tales to get a rise out of people. Nobody called her fat at that time, but she was required to trim down because of her very mature curves, since she was playing a prepubescent. *It is time for the "chicken soup, coffee, and cigarettes diet" lie to die.* Judy ate food, primarily vegetables and other healthy things. She drank coffee, yes, as well as tea, milk, and fruit juice. She was at liberty also to drink soda, but she didn't like it. And *she did not smoke.* More words from Judy, taken from an interview given during the making of the film: "I take awfully good care of myself. I won't ever smoke or drink." Yes, we know she did both as an adult, but not in her teens, and certainly not while she was making _Wizard._ She did take an appetite suppressant, but she was never underweight. Her addictions came in adulthood and had other causes, most of them to do with her personal life rather than her career. Judy, being a happy and ebullient teen with a good sense of humor, frequently got giggle fits, and then everyone would just wait until she calmed sown and then they'd get on with things. On one, single, solitary occasion, she got the giggles when the studio was just about to close up for the evening, and they had to get the shot done. Fleming administered a slap to snap her out of it, as one would with someone in hysteria, and then she nailed the take. It was nothing to do with the cost of film (not "film tape"), because MGM had deep pockets, and the movie's budget was close to three million dollars. What you and so many people leave out is that Fleming hated what he'd done and told John Lee Mahin to break his nose for it. Judy overheard him and kissed his nose instead. She forgave him, and the matter was closed. The fact that Judy was playing the lead had zilch to do with her salary. In those days, actors were paid according to how long they'd been with a studio or in the acting business in general. In Judy's case, she'd only been with MGM for three years, starting at $100.00 a week, going up exponentially as time went by. In fact, she was to have had an increase to $750.00 a week come 1940, but when _Wizard_ made her a star, her pay zoomed to $2000.00 a week. Judy was not groped by anybody; she was too feisty for anyone to have gotten away with it. Judy would punch and kick, she was that kind of girl. Sid Luft was full of baloney, as his and Judy's own children would tell you. Lorna and Joey Luft dedicated a lot of time to working with the surviving Munchkins to clear their names of the unfounded-- and frankly bigoted-- lies told about them. Likewise, while Mayer was undeniably an eccentric and an emotional manipulator, the story of him touching Judy's chest is very likely a lie. Judy wasn't forced to do anything, you may rest assured on that. As a minor, she was subject to California's child labor laws, which meant that she was only allowed to work for four hours a day; in fact, since time at the studio getting ready was counted as "work," her hair and make-up people put her together at her house before she went to the studio. 🙂 Consider these facts: she stayed friends with her co-stars decades after the movie had wrapped, she always spoke fondly of them, Fleming, and producer Mervyn LeRoy, and of course she adopted "Over the Rainbow" as her personal anthem. After Bert Lahr died in 1967, Judy dedicated a performance of that song to "my dear Cowardly Lion." You should have mentioned that Judy's overdose involved barbiturates, to which, ironically, she was not addicted. There was no "hanging Munchkin." In the first place, the clip you show is the many-times-proven fake created by a KZitemr in 2011. In the real movie, it has always been a sarus crane. Look at any legit release of the movie from any year in any format, and there will always be a crane. In any case, the Tin Woodman sequence was filmed a month before the Munchkinland sequence. And my friend, the cameras and all their related equipment were state of the art; MGM was the premiere movie company in those days and had the best of everything. What audiences saw on the big screen in 1939 is what we see in the latest digital release; that's why it's called "restoration!" 🙂 Caren Marsh Doll is still alive. She was Judy's stand-in (and classmate when Judy took her lessons from a tutor during her off time), and turned 104 this year. Many children who filled out the Munchkin population for wide shots of the city are likewise still with us. But yes, given that many of the cast were over thirty, it would be a bit ludicrous to expect them to still be around today. Nobody on the movie mistreated Judy, as has already been explained. To sum up, the making of this movie (like thousands of other movies) involved hard work and a lot of sweat, but was certainly not "evil."

I came here to learn more about the production, after watching the video I was freaking out cause thats Wild (not as Wild as the film Roar) but still Wild. Then I went throught the comments and I realized that you where really mad with the video. Then I read about the books you said and all off that. Your comments makes much more sense than the video and the source it's just way better. Cause the dude fron the vid has as a source ANOTHER KZitem video and THAT KZitem video has as a SOURCE! A Tiktok video. Which means, I havent read those books but is 99% more likely you are more right than the youtuber. So thank you for passionately trying to tell the truth about the production.

Saw the horrors of the production and probably went through so much trauma he hanged himself. 2. Hanged himself out of guilty for r"" ""g Judy Garland. 3. He did something that pissed off the director so bad that he was murdered for it (probably trying to sue and expose the studio)
